In Aristophanes' round human origin, man is integrally connected with his other half, he has thoughts as noble as the gods of the universe, and because he exists perfectly, he is not affected by eros. The wholeness of the circle is a metaphor for origin: perfection, closure, and conceptual chaos without beginning and end. That is the state in which Adam and Lilith have not yet been separated, and their gods and forms have blended together. But in the film, there does seem to be love flowing silently between Shinji and Rei Ayanami, who are their incarnations; beyond that, their reconciliation is reminiscent of a dream along their shared reality, and the two happen In reverse, reality becomes an extension of the dream, and pain becomes the way for hope to reach itself. Evangelion's core is closely tied to Christian theology, and the title of the second half of the film, "Sincerely For You," also reflects this. The concept of love in the film is very close to Christianity. When Shinji and Rei Ayanami fuse their bodies and spirits, it can be said that it is the moment of extreme eroticism. It can also be said that this state of merging is loveless, because the one who exists at this time is thinking about it. God who loves himself and himself, and God lacks everything, but needs to show himself - in the words of Simone Weil, "Man is the place where God's love travels freely" - this is the existence of man The reason may also be the "hope" that Li refers to. Kaoru, who is the seventeen apostles, put it this way, it is "the possibility of saying 'I love you'", that is, the state of love to the extreme and love without desire.
The purpose of the Human Completion Project, although it also points to a return to the perfect whole, is not through difficult (and bound to fail) understanding, and has nothing to do with eroticism, but through an attempt to cancel the individual and the civilization it creates. Destroying the act, prompting the spirit to renounce the body, thereby reaching the other side of absolute unity. This also means that civilization and memory will disappear: civilization is the product of alienation and division, the product of the earthly love that is constantly trying to occupy; and memory, it can only be the memory of what has passed, pointing to What is not present is always sadness in joy. SEELE, translated as Spirit in German, the ultimate goal of the completion program carried out by this institution is to lead to the joyful, powerful and self-affirming non-existent entity [BGM: Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125 , Beethoven's Ode to Joy], in which all men are reconciled and one, and man loses his ability to say "I" and falls back to that God-like "I am what I am" spirit; and this spirit The image is so gentle, in the film, as Lilith released by the gun of Longinus, she appears as a lively girl (Rei, who also has a soul), and a gentle mother (Ikari) after acquiring her soul. only). ——However, is this really happiness for people? When an individual person no longer has his own small thoughts, entangled desires, what is the difference between this and death? This is undoubtedly a total death, meaning beyond the physical end of life, an impossibility beyond what the desperate man cannot. "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible. (Matthew 19:26)", and SEELE's completion plan aims to eliminate the order and hierarchy between man and god, and reach the state of man and god, that is, in solipsism Spiritually, man loses the barrier between the heart by renunciation of the body, and becomes omnipotent in death. But we have to understand that in the material world, desires cannot be satisfied. What everyone is looking for thinks that it is the other half that fits him: but rather than finding the other half of the round person who has been split in two, it is better to say that it is the same shadow that he is looking for and rushing about. . Those who laughed at Shinji's indecision between the three women didn't see the shadow of the shadow and didn't understand the fear of the protagonist (or even everyone in the film). If one does find the lost half, the result is self-annihilation, otherwise one will find that he is always deceiving himself. When anti A. The T position was opened, and the origin flashed in the dialogue between Shinji and Rei Ayanami. On the earth, bursts of dreamy laughter appeared, and everyone was annihilated in the reunion with the other half... All return with the dead human beings The state of the Son of the Universe, the image of Chaos, is neither being nor non-being. At that time, sex had not yet separated heaven and earth, and nothing flourished, but desire had sprouted in the dark, trying to seek through the human beings who were always lost, death and sweetness, and tragedy - and human beings. To exist and to repeat such failures over and over again is the heart of tragedy - to reveal the original untraceable. (And the failure to complete (?) will reopen the loopback structure)
